The Open University (OU) is a public distance learning and research university, and one of the biggest universities in the UK for undergraduate education. The majority of the OU's undergraduate students are based throughout the United Kingdom and principally study off-campus; many of its courses (both undergraduate and postgraduate) can also be studied anywhere in the world. There are also a number of full-time postgraduate research students based on the 48-hectare university campus where they use the OU facilities for research, as well as more than 1000 members of academic and research staff and over 2500 administrative, operational and support staff. The OU was established in 1969 and the first students enrolled in January 1971. The University administration is based at Walton Hall, Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire, but has regional centres in each of its thirteen regions around the United Kingdom. It also has offices and regional examination centres in many other European countries. The university awards undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, as well as non-degree qualifications such as diplomas and certificates or continuing education units.
The International System of Units (SI) defines seven units of measure as a basic set from which all other SI units are derived. The SI base units and their physical quantities are:
The SI base quantities form a set of mutually independent dimensions as required by dimensional analysis commonly employed in science and technology. However, in a given realization in these units they may well be interdependent, i.e. defined in terms of each other.
The names and symbols of SI base units are written in lowercase (e.g. metre (US English: meter) has the symbol m), except the symbols of those named after persons which are written with an initial capital letter (i.e., the kelvin after Lord Kelvin has the symbol K and the ampere after André-Marie Ampère has the symbol A).
Many other units, such as the litre (US English: liter), are formally not part of the SI, but are accepted for use with SI.
Jonathan Williams discusses the seven base SI units and how they are linked. For more information: http://www.npl.co.uk/reference/measurement-units/si-base-units/

Basics of Chemistry: Units of measurement in chemistry Looking for a chemistry game to help you study or review? Try "Chemistry: An atom building game - http://amzn.to/1JEXvuK In this video, we are going to look at units of measurement in chemistry. More specifically, you are going to learn about SI Units, derived units, and metric prefixes. It important to know that all measurements will have a number in a unit. You would never say I have 3. 3 what? This always need to be clarified. For example, if you had 70 kilograms of something, you would need to say I have 70 kg, not I have 70. The SI system, from the international system of units, used base units as the basis for all units. These units are listed in the table and include kilogram for mass, meter’s for length, seconds for...

Belfast is the capital city and largest city in Northern Ireland. This destination hasn't always been popular with visitors due to a conflict known as The Troubles; however, in recent years Belfast has experienced a resurgence and it's slowly starting to make a name for itself. We gave ourselves a few days to explore the city, and the result is the following video showcasing 20 things to do in Belfast: GEAR WE USE Olympus OM-D E-M5 II: http://amzn.to/1OchS7t Canon G7X: http://amzn.to/1YdjsYX Olympus 14-150mm II Lens: http://amzn.to/1Y79zeM Rode Video Mic GO: http://amzn.to/1WDKtVM Joby Gorilla Pod: http://amzn.to/1PgoY5F SanDisk 16GB Extreme Pro: http://amzn.to/25KEErs SOCIAL MEDIA & TRAVEL BLOGS AUDREY: blog: http://thatbackpacker.com/ instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thatback...
So this week we're excited to be exploring Dublin and we're planning to spend an entire week here. This video is going to highlight 25 things to do around the city. Dublin is where most trips in Ireland begin, so before seeing the rest of the country, Audrey and I spent a whole week getting to know the capital. When the weather cooperated we walked around the city, toured Trinity College, and visited the botanical gardens, and when it poured rain as it often does in this part of the world, we just popped into a pub for some Irish stew and a pint of Guinness. The following video will show you a few of the different things to do in Dublin, Ireland.

Hi everybody, this is group 6 presentation. Today we will talk about LIMITATION! Limitation is a sense of us about what we can’t get or what we can’t get over it. It’s also what we fear and when we face it, we don’t dare to fight with it. To make it clearer, let hear those people talk about their limitation. A: my limitation is that I can’t get up early to go to school on time. My class start at 7 am but I never can wake up at 6 am to go to school. I always be late. I feel sad but I don’t know how to get over it How about you B ? B: I want to be a manager in the future but I afraid that I can’t get it because people say it’s too hard to become a manager,I need to word hard in many year and I scare I will never become a manager. C: I want to get doctorate degree in finance after graduated b...
Karl Johans gate is the main walking street of Oslo. It stretches from Oslo Central Station (Oslo S) on one side, to the Royal Palace (Slottet) on the other. Btw. "Karl Johans gate" literally means "Karl Johan's Street". The Visit Oslo tourist information office is located at the east side of Oslo Central Station. On the place outside of the station (Jernbanetorget) there is a clock tower called Trafikanten, which houses the Public Transportation Information office. The lower parts of Karl Johan, and especially the first intersecting street, Skippergata, is infamous for junkies and street prostitution. The second intersection street is Dronningens gate (The Queen's street). Here there is a small shopping center Arkaden. Also in Dronningens gate is Kirkeristen, which houses a few cafes ...

Please give us a THUMBS UP if you like our videos!!! Source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilogram The kilogram or kilogramme (SI unit symbol: kg; SI dimension symbol: M), is the base unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI) and is defined as being equal to the mass of the International Prototype of the Kilogram (IPK). The avoirdupois (or international) pound, used in both the Imperial system and U.S. customary units, is defined as exactly 0.45359237 kg, making one kilogram approximately equal to 2.2046 avoirdupois pounds.

The gram was originally defined in 1795 as the mass of one cubic centimeter of water at 4 °C, making the kilogram equal to the mass of one liter of water. The prototype kilogram, manufactured in 1799 and from which the current kilogram is based, has a mass equal to the mass of 1.000025 liters of water. This video is targeted to blin...
